I am completely disgusted with him. Like I said, most guys would be thrilled to be in his shoes. He's only supposed to pay a lousy $40 a week, and can't manage that. DH gets so disgusted with the whole situation. Thinks I should just take ex to court, have the money collected by support collection, and make ex pay all co-pays and such as well. I know he's right, and I'm getting disgusted enough myself to take his advice. Thinking seriously about going tomorrow. I'm a marshmallow, what can I say. Ex says slow economy, nobody's building, blah blah. and I just sit there and say Ok. Then I'll hear about the trip they took down south, or the nascar races or see the new pool. And what do I do? Nothing. Because I support my son myself (I don't expect dh to help), and while the ex's money might make it easier to do so sometimes, it's never bothered me enough to do something about it. But the ex is right, the economy is getting slow, and after a 30% pay cut from the household income, things are getting tight here. And now I am bothered enough to do something about it. And I'm angry that my compromise has been basically tossed in my face. I get aggrevated easily, but rarely get angry (you know, that slow burn, long-lasting angry). I've hit that point now, and he's going to wish I hadn't.
I'm not disgusted with the chickens per se, but the whole rooster situation has gotten out of control, and while going to court will help with finances in the future, it's not going to solve the coop problem I'm having now. They are my chickens, so I don't expect dh or mom to have to pay for them. And that includes paying for the materials for dh to build the coops for me. So that's why I say I'm almost ready to throw in the towel.
You all always make me feel better, so I just want to say thanks for being there when I need to vent
Ahh, if only the devil dog meant on the go. Unfortunately, by playing, he meant on the xbox. But, I just ruined his day when I told him we were going outside to work
Haha Carrie..that so sounds like me....We have been doing some gardening since the weekend when we weren't working and my youngest loves... LOVES to play the WII...(which isn't too bad..he's actually moving around lol) and I'll tell him...time to turn off the game and come out and help...He
and then goes and hides at Mama's....(we live next door to her lol) Yeah so anyway...I so know what you are dealing with

Well, I didn't have to put my .02 in to save your son, but I would have sided with him, too... and Jen's right. That's three food groups right there! What more could you ask?
On the other hand, I'm sorry you are having such a tough time with the chickens. It's hard. I'm going to try to keep my number of roos down for the same reason you cited. Bless your heart, though, vacations should go better than this!
On the ex... well, I can't say anything nice, so I"ll hush. But you've had an awful lot of patience there I think,
